You can't be cute about tapes". "Even that is possible", Trump said. Trump abruptly fired Comey on Tuesday and later said Comey was a "showboat" and "grandstander" who was not doing a good job. Lawmakers from both parties reprimanded Trump's actions, which included shifting explanations from the White House for Comey's dismissal and an ominous tweet by Trump that warned Comey against leaks to the press because he may have "tapes" of their conversations.

Such sharing "could be a risk for our sources", the official said .

The revised travel ban was challenged in Maryland by refugee organizations and individuals who said they were being discriminated against because they were Muslim.

Mexico won the battle, but not the war: Although the Mexican Army won the battle at Puebla on May 5th, 1862 the French went on to win the war, occupying the region for five years.

Mr Abbas said he believes the Trump administration can play an important role as a mediator. Israel has rejected the 1967 lines as a possible border, saying it would impose security risks.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has faced a political backlash from his right-wing base over the issue, particularly after a report that he advised Trump against moving the embassy to the disputed city for now.

On the other hand, the USA understands that if Turkey takes part in the operation aimed at liberating Raqqa, then Washington will have to allow Ankara to be pro-active to a certain extent.

President Trump should also pledge to increase humanitarian assistance to support refugees already living in Turkey and any new ones who arrive.

A spokeswoman for NHS Grampian said: "Our IT teams have been working over the weekend in the affected GP surgeries. It was clear (that) warnings were given to hospital trusts". "What we don't do in our NHS is micromanage it from the desk".

The warnings from U.S. officials across government agencies - including from some inside the West Wing - add to the steady stream of cautionary advice Gulf state diplomats and top Arab officials have shared with Trump and top White House advisers.

Several Lebanese twitter accounts sarcastically demanded that their politicians be as gracious as Le Pen in accepting defeat and congratulating their opponent instead of "burning the streets". Macron won the presidency with 66 percent of votes cast but the vote saw a high number of blank or spoiled votes and unusually low turnout. Ferrand said the movement will field 577 candidates - 50 percent will be women - and their names will be unveiled before May 11.

The media wasn't allowed to cover the visit. But in choosing Edouard Philippe, President Emmanuel Macron hopes he has ticked nearly all the right boxes. This is the first time in the history of the Fifth Republic that a President has appointed someone from outside his own party without being explicitly required to do so by a parliamentary vote.

Asked if "internally" meant the president, Clapper said , "Exactly". Critics, however, say that Trump fired Comey to slow down, or prevent altogether, the FBI's widening probe into the alleged connection between Trump's campaign and Russian Federation during last year's presidential election.

The statement also condemned an April 28 ballistic missile launch by Pyongyang. Apart from reiterating its commitment to comply with all restrictive measures imposed on North Korea under previous resolutions, the Council hinted it might look at the possibility to tighten the grip on the state's economy, which is already suffering under a heavy burden of global sanctions.

Sunday's missile launch angered the White House which said the North had " been a flagrant menace for far too long " and called for tougher sanctions against Pyongyang . "Until the U.S. and its followers make a right choice, we will further produce sophisticated and diversified nuclear weapons and striking means and push to prepare for necessary tests", Pak said according to the North's state-run KCNA news agency.

The UN Security Council has strongly condemned North Korea's latest ballistic missile test and vowed strong measures, including sanctions, to derail Pyongyang's nuclear weapons program. After a tense few weeks of North Korea shouting at the world, launching things into the air, and many other countries subsequently shouting back, it doesn't seem like things are going to be quieting down any time soon.

Those concerns are now likely to multiply. "The information the President relayed had been provided through an intelligence-sharing arrangement considered so sensitive that details have been withheld from allies and tightly restricted even within the USA government", the paper reports .

His comments came as Computer Emergency Response Teams, or CERTs, across the globe continued to deal with the fallout from infections - a Chinese security firm said almost 30,000 enterprises there had been struck - and as a running tally of the bitcoin accounts the malware's authors were collecting ransom in showed they had garnered only about $54,000 by noon EDT Monday.

He noted that as president, he has an "absolute right" to do this. "Russia could identify our sources or techniques", a senior USA official told The Washington Post . "If that partner learned we'd given this to Russian Federation without their knowledge or asking first, that is a blow to that relationship", a USA official told the Washington Post .

Trump's early morning defense of sharing information with the Russians appeared to differ in tone from ones offered by aides who the night earlier declared the story to be "false". American presidents have the power to unilaterally disclose any material - even the most secret intelligence - without going through any kind of formal process, or worrying about prosecution.

The irony seemed to be lost on Trump that - at least in the case of sharing classified intelligence with the Russians - he was, in fact, the original leaker. The new controversy came even as there was no letup in the conflict Trump stirred last week with the firing of Comey and as Trump prepares for his first foreign trip, which include stops in Saudi Arabia and Israel.
